Highlights
Sempervivum 'Hurricane' (Skrocki): A small, heavily webbed cultivar of S. arachnoideum. Its bright red coloration makes a nice contrast to the cottony white webbing that tops each rosette and protects them in full sun. S. arachnoideum types in particular benefit from a layer of gravel top dressing that prevents rot by acting as a barrier between their leaves and the moist soil.
Hens & Chicks need plenty of outdoor sunlight to show their best colors and maintain a tight rosette form. They thrive in gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They produce new offsets or "chicks" on stolons. These chicks can be lefts to form tidy clusters or removed to share and transplant.
Sempervivum do most of their growing in the spring and summer, and will thrive with weekly watering and afternoon shade if temperatures exceed 80F. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under a blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water to prevent rot.
